They will Probably NOT put an attraction in the area between The Living Seas and The Land pavillions. The designated area for a pavillion was between Imagination and Land. Originally SPACE, buy we know where that landed.
Accually JEDI1130 The original Attraction for the space that Horizions was built was going to be a space Pavillion. Unless they were going to do it behind JII must have been before they decided raze Horizions if this it accurate at all. Fifteen years ago I was working for kraft They were the original land Sponsor) I was tossing old files on the Execitive level I hapened to find some Blueprints for EPCOT. it was dated July 1979 and they had a spot where horisions eventually built was lables for a "Space Pavilion" so they had all along they had a Space Attraction in mind. i assume that they just couldn't get it going at that time and decided to use the space for the Horizions Attraction.
In this plan the layout design for EPCOT was as they built it except for some of the Pavilions were labeled as future expansion in the Future Worls section. The World showcase was very diffrent from the countries that decided to participate when construction started.
The layout was this
If you start from the east side of Future World to the left of Communicore west going clockwise there was
The energy Pavilion which became UoE
Open area for future Pavilion #2 which became WoL
The space pavilion which became Horizions now MS
open area for future Pavilion #3( back a bit next to the energy plant)
The Transportation Pavilion which became WoM now TT
The open area where the entry to WS is
The Science and Invention Pavilion which became JII now JIYI?
open area behind the Science Pavilion for future Pavilion #4
The Land and Food Pavilion which becme The Land
open area for Future Pavilion #5(rumored for the Weather pavilion)
open area for Future pavilion #1 which became The living Seas.
and Ws was totaly diffrent as well.
starting from the east left side going clockwise
